Top Japanese Drifters use Wilwood These pix are from D1 event from Feb 28th at Irwindale speedway, Pix are sourced from Honda Tech. Check out the top winner from round of of this years D1 competition.

 

but how much front brake is actually used in drifting?

 

Don't forget these events are big media and company advertsing there products.

I bet ya that Sherwin did that kit for them special for the D1 event.

Cool either way...

 

This is a weird example. There are plenty of real racers (who actually use and depend on their brakes) who run Wilwood brakes. Why would you choose car-ballet as an example for a performance mod?

Just curious...

Anything drifters use = products I avoid.

 

i think brakes are pretty important in drifting to control the car

 

I don't think anyone is suggesting that drifters remove their brakes altogether. The point we are making is that they certainly don't need the increased heat capacity and fade resistance of big-brakes like the AP 6 piston kit. It's purely a cosmetic mod for them - just the way drifting is purely "show".

That's why it's weird to use drifters as an example of people using a BBK. Especially, when there are real racers using the same products. It's like saying 24" chrome wheels are a great performance mod because Puff Daddy has them on his Escalade. Who cares?

? Volk? Tein? HKS? RS*R? I guess all these brand name parts you will avoid?
